I have backing from across the party: former defence secretaries @PennyMordaunt @LiamFox ; former defence ministers Philip @Dunne4Ludlow and Sir Mike Penning; from David Cameron’s former Chief Whip @Mark_J_Harper and from former Conservative Leader IDS.
I was Shadow Defence Secretary 2001-03, and later served for four years on @CommonsDefence Committee (2006-10); am leading exponent of renewal of UK continuous-at-sea deterrent; and work of @CommonsPACAC included national strategy, Chilcott, war powers, procurement and contracts
Authored and edited civitas.org.uk/pdf/DefenceAcq… in 2015, which advocates completely new approach to defence equipment design and procurement.
